Couldn't agree more with this statement..........

And.....even though in recent centuries the tools of modern science have expanded our understanding of the physical universe in really unprecedented ways, many of the answers obtained thus far - both from experimental observations and the theories that still underlie much of modern physics - are laden with a number of assumptions.... Ouch 
So, while our society places a high degree of confidence in science due to our technological advancements, we must though be careful to identify its limitations...

I wouldn't put a sudden poo-fling past a future Trump press conference (people would probably love it); "Trump Hurls Monkey Feces at George Stephanopoulos-- Secret Service Steps In, Trump's Favorability Hits All Time High"

The universe would be better without planets

If anything, I'd say that the universe could be better without mankind, not the planet earth

the day mankind will start setting foot on Mars and settle there, may be the universe will be better off without, but let's face it's (for now) our only exit... especially now that Trump will allow his buddies to sully and pollute freely.

While I agree with your statement about Trump I wonder why there is no mention of the pollution problem which exists in Europe?

“It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.”
― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
